Bobby Bolin pitched in 13 big league seasons and his final four with the Boston Red Sox. Bolin made his Major League debut in 1961 with the San Francisco Giants and started his career in relief. Eventually, Bolin would serve in a combined starter/relief role during his tenure with the Giants. Bolin finished 1968 with the National League's second-best ERA with 1.99; Bob Gibson was first with a record 1.12 ERA. In 1970, Bolin was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers. He was traded again that season to the Boston Red Sox and finished his career as a full-time reliever. In his final season in 1973, Bolin led the Red Sox bullpen with 15 saves.
About This Card
Comparing all of the Red Sox cards, I have covered so far, it looks like Bolin's photo was taken at the same time and location, most likely spring training, with Ken Tatum, John Curtis, Mike Garman, and John Kennedy.
